This information replaces the

information under “Roof Rack

System” found in the Storage

Section of the owner’s manual.

The vehicle is equipped with

side-rails for a roof rack system.

Cargo must be secured with

properly installed cross rails and

other accessories designed to carry

cargo. These can be purchased

from your dealer.

{

Warning

Before driving and occasionally

during a trip, check that cargo is

securely fastened, rests evenly

between the cross rails and does

not block the vehicle's lamps or

(Continued)

Warning (Continued)

windows. Never load cargo

directly on the roof of the vehicle

or allow cargo to hang over the

rear or sides of the vehicle. Never

load cargo without first properly

installing cross rails and other

accessories designed to carry

cargo. Personal injury, death or

damage to the vehicle or other

property may occur.

If driving for a long distance, on

rough roads, or at high speeds,

occasionally stop the vehicle to

make sure the cargo remains in its

place.

Cargo Weight Limits

Do not exceed the maximum cargo

weight for the roof rack system,

including the weight of the cross

rails and any other accessories

used to carry the cargo such as bike

racks or roof boxes.

For all trim levels except Denali, the

maximum cargo weight that can be

loaded onto the roof rack system is

100 kg (220 lb).

For Denali, the maximum weight is

as follows:

Front-Wheel Drive

.

With Sunroof: 40 kg (88 lb)

.

Without Sunroof: 65 kg (143 lb)

All-Wheel Drive

With Sunroof: 25 kg (55 lb)

Without Sunroof: 50 kg (110 lb)

{

Warning

Never load the roof rack with

more weight than specified in this

section or in the instructions that

came with cross rails and other

roof rack accessories, whichever

is less. Loading cargo on the roof

rack will make the vehicle's center

of gravity higher. To avoid losing

control of the vehicle, avoid high

speeds, sudden starts, sharp

turns, sudden braking, or abrupt

maneuvers when carrying cargo

on the roof rack.

The weight of any cargo carried on

the roof rack system must be

included in calculating the loaded

weight of the vehicle. Do not exceed

the maximum vehicle capacity when

loading the vehicle, including cargo

carried on the roof rack system,

passengers and cargo carried in the

vehicle. For more information on

vehicle capacity and loading, see

Vehicle Load Limits.

Battery Replacement

{

Warning

Never allow children to play with

the RKE transmitter. The

transmitter contains a small

battery, which can be a choking

hazard. If swallowed, internal

burns can occur, resulting in

severe injury or death. Seek

medical attention immediately if a

battery is swallowed.

{

Warning

To avoid personal injury, do not

touch metal surfaces on the RKE

transmitter when it has been

exposed to extreme heat. These

surfaces can be hot to the touch

at temperatures above 59 °C

(138 °F).

Caution

When replacing the battery, do

not touch any of the circuitry on

the transmitter. Static from your

body could damage the

transmitter.

Caution

Always replace the battery with

the correct type. Replacing the

battery with an incorrect type

could potentially create a risk of

battery explosion. Dispose of

used batteries according to

instructions and local laws. Do

not attempt to burn, crush, or cut

the used battery, and avoid

exposing the battery to
